Sins of the past

Things best unremembered
Or held fast to today
Do you have a choice
Anyway

Putting things right
That once went wrong
Does that sound like
A familiar song

Does the chance lie
In your hands now
Or are you sinking
Fast at the bow

Breathe it in
Every crime or sin
Don't take it to heart
You did play your part
Never guilt free
Don't you, don't you see

The noose is tight
It will always be
One slip
Is all it takes, honestly

What's gone is gone
And should be forgotten
But is this all
Misbegotten

The sins of the past
Are a long time dead
But yet they still echo
Through my head
